Florida Marlins call up Ozzie Martinez from Class AAA New Orleans

Ozzie Martinez isn’t exactly off to a hot start in Class AAA New Orleans — he’s batting .190 with 2 RBI in 13 games. But the Marlins value is glove enough that they called him up this afternoon.

Ozzie, 22, will replace injured left-fielder Logan Morrison on the roster, signaling that Emilio Bonifacio could share playing time in left field with Scott Cousins until LoMo returns.
Ozzie would be the main back-up infielder, a role he excelled at for the Marlins last year when he filled in for shortstop Hanley Ramirez in September.
